Alan and Deva Groombridge

Description

Notes from 1980: Alan and Deva Groombridge's most recent business is the running of Aldeva Motels and Motor Camp which they have managed for the past 16 years. Mr. Groombridge senior opened a milk bar in 1908; Alan and brother Fred went into business with him. He also owned the Tivoli Theatre and the two brothers eventually took over the running of the theatre and sweet shop. By 1966 the Groombridge family no longer owned the theatre or sweet shop so Alan and Fred sold the milk bar. Alan and Deva were then able to concentrate on the motor camp which they had started the previous year.
